I will recollect an apple on a plate. I can maybe tell you the colour of the plate if I'll remember it. But the image will be 100% blank. Nothing there but dark

I will recollect an apple on a plate. I can maybe tell you the colour of the plate if I'll remember it. But the image will be 100% blank. Nothing there but darkness. You know those spy films where the hero memorised all the exists and items on the table so he can use them later? I'll be lost and/or dead in those situations. My sense of direction is horrible at best. I get lost on a straight road with a GPS (this is not an exaggeration - I do).
